SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–With just 133 total home runs last season, the second-fewest in all of baseball, the Giants were not a “long ball” team.
Anyone who watched the Giants play last season knows they weren’t a “small ball” team, either.
There are plenty of reasons why the Giants finished with just 73 wins in 2018, but the team’s offensive ineptitude is high on the list. Though new president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi still hasn’t signed a free agent position player to a major league contract, manager Bruce Bochy believes the Giants have reason to be optimistic about improving their offense this year.
